Fig. 2. Box plot demonstrating nerve block treatment group differences after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, showing numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores with movement during the first 2 postoperative days. The  thick black line inside the box  represents the median NRS value. The  lowest bar on the y-axis  represents the 10th percentile, the  bottom and top of the boxes  represent the interquartile range (25th and 75th percentiles), and the  top bar  represents the 90th percentile. Placebo SbSi is the placebo treatment group receiving a saline bolus and saline infusion through the femoral nerve block catheter, whereas treatment group LbSi received a levobupivacaine bolus and saline infusion, and LbLi received both a bolus and infusion containing levobupivacaine. On both days 1 and 2, the LbLi treatment group had significantly lower pain scores when compared with the other two nerve block treatment groups (*  P  < by Kruskal-Wallis test).
